What Is an Energy Services Company?

The short explanation is that an Energy Services Company is a company that provides energy solutions to customers through changes to how their facility consumes energy. The ESCO achieves this through retrofitting, implementation of energy-saving projects, energy audits, risk management, and more. An ESCO must qualify with the US Department of Energy.

ESCOs first developed during the energy crisis of the 1970s. Businesses were hesitant to invest in cost-saving measures because they were concerned that they would not receive the promised savings. The solution to this was for contractors to offer to pay the difference if the energy-saving projects did not provide a return on investment for the clients. This is known as performance contracting. This is how the ESCO model was developed, and how it still operates today.

This guarantee of savings sets an Energy Services Company apart from standard consulting engineers and equipment contractors, who don’t accept any risk on a project. Since 1990, the work of ESCOs have helped save over $55 billion.

What You Can Expect From an ESCO

Simple—savings, guaranteed! An Energy Services Company begins a project with a complete analysis of a property. Then its technicians develop energy projects and other solutions and install them. The job doesn’t stop there, however. The ESCO maintains the installed solutions to monitor how much energy they conserve so they can guarantee savings during the payback period. If the project doesn’t pay back its initial installation cost over this period, the ESCO must pay the difference. This rarely happens—if you hire a great, qualified ESCO like us!
